Resisting My Ex-Bully Time to Act
It took me more than fifteen minutes to calm down after Kaiden had left the room. God… he remembered. He knew what had happened. A part of me wished to know who initiated it, hoping it wasn't me—the rest of me would rather never find out.I clasped my cheeks and blew out a breath, summoning my composure. Then I pulled out my phone and laptop. It was time to come up with a plan. I was in the perfect place to get the evidence I needed. I wasn't allowed to waste such an opportunity.Suddenly, my eyes fixed on the door—my locked door. A bitter smile appeared. I was closer to Killian than I had been since I had moved out of the penthouse, yet I still couldn't even talk to him. My chest tightened as I wondered what his night with Estelle was like. The acidic taste of jealousy flooded my insides. I didn't want Estelle anywhere around Killian. It sickened me that she believed he would soon belong to her, as if he were some object she could possess.I exhaled slowly, disarming my coiling anger
Resisting My Ex-Bully Getting Evidence
I stared at the dark passage through the crack-open door. A shiver coursed through me. Now that I knew that the plans I'd found were correct, I debated whether or not I should push my luck. I probably shouldn't. But what if this was the only way I could get any kind of information?Not even for a second did I doubt that Killian would get a chance to snoop around. All eyes were on him. Yan Hao needed him to cooperate. They wouldn't let him learn about anything that could have shattered their efforts.They must have been wary of Kaiden, too. He was cunning and calculative, and even if he had cooperated with Estelle before, they knew that now he was likely to become their enemy. That was why they needed to observe him as well.The only person they hadn't marked as a potential threat was me. Of course, they might have found me bothersome since I was romantically involved with Killian, but I had no doubt that in their minds, I was rather easily disposable.Another shudder rushed through my
Resisting My Ex-Bully Play Dumb
I stumbled back, keeping my eyes on the man before me. In the dimly lit corridor, he resembled a feral beast—a predator, a second from devouring its prey. I closed my eyes and opened them again, forcing myself to shove the fear away. The tall Asian in front of me resembled one of those main leads in Chinese romance dramas. His black suit alluringly complimented his well-built body. His short, black hair was ideally styled, and every angle of his face seemed perfect. And if he hadn't been so insanely intimidating, I would have called him stunning.“Who are you? How did you get here?” His full lips formed a faint, nearly pleasant smile. His tone was soft, coaxing, but I didn't miss the deadly, sharp edge an inch beneath the surface.I sucked in a ragged breath and painted a nervous smile. Play dumb, my instincts told me. I listened. “I-I am Mr. Yan's guest. I didn't know I wasn't allowed here. I still suffer from jetlag. I couldn't sleep, so I walked out of the room and just walked and
Resisting My Ex-Bully Losing Patience
KILLIANI stood in front of one of the floor-to-ceiling windows in mine and Estelle's chambers. I kept my jaw clenched so tightly I was half-surprised my teeth hadn't cracked. The light behind me flashed and faded as Estelle walked out of the bathroom. Her silhouette appeared in the window's reflection as she walked toward me. A white silk nightgown. I'd scoffed at seeing her in it yesterday. She didn't get the message or perhaps believed that if I saw her half-naked a few more times, I would want to fuck her.Estelle was an attractive woman. I was certain that, just like the old me in high school, many men desired her. Some men would sell their souls just to see her glide toward them in a seductive dance. She had put on this seductress's act the night before, and now the tactic didn't change much. I wished she realized it wasn't going to work. My brain and my dick both had the same opinion on that matter.She stopped behind me and slid her arms around my waist. “Thank you for being s
Resisting My Ex-Bully Her Safety
Estelle had been right about one thing: Yan Hao had an army of men at his disposal. More than three dozen men guarded this goddamn mansion around the clock, and I could bet this was only a fracture of his potential. The fucking Triad.The only good thing was that not all of those guards were well-trained. It was easy to notice the difference in their stance and the slight delay in their reaction whenever they noticed someone was coming. Those untrained, I assumed, had just passed their Triad initiation. Nonetheless, their raw skills were enough to protect the less important floors, staircases, or gardens. The higher floors were left for the elite, hand-picked by Satoh Ryuu.When Yan Hao introduced him as his right-hand man, I couldn't hide my surprise. I didn't think there were many Japanese in the Chinese Triads, not that Yan Hao nor anyone else mentioned the Triads. Officially, Satoh Ryuu was the COO of Diamond Dragon Entertainment, but he resembled a trained assassin more than a sk
Resisting My Ex-Bully A Tour
JOSIEA part of me—a significantly large part of me—was glad that Kaiden returned nearly at dawn. That had given Killian and me a moment of needed privacy. I missed being in his arms. I missed his lips on mine. I missed his voice, whispering into my ear. I missed feeling his scent with each breath I took…He had lingered way longer than he should have, not to mention that he shouldn't have come to my room at all. Our parting had been harder than ever before. After my unfortunate encounter with Satoh Ryuu, I knew sleep wouldn't come easily. Killian had mentioned that this man was dangerous, but I had sensed that much already. He had made me promise I would try to stay away from him, but I had a feeling that avoiding him wasn't going to be easy.Finally, Killian kissed me goodnight and left. Thankfully, I had wiped all traces of his visit from the surveillance footage, so no one found out he had spent quite some time in my room. It half-surprised me no one noticed that the mansion's sec
Resisting My Ex-Bully Dangerous Game
A long line of curses crawled up my throat. I blocked all of them and offered Ryuu a thin-lipped smile. Once I was sure none of the curses were getting out, I drew a deep breath. “I'm sure you must be busy. I wouldn't want to—”“I have time. My meeting has just been canceled.” A lie, most likely.I smiled faintly. “Still, I'm certain you have far more interesting things to do than give me a tour.”He breathed out a laugh. “I hate to disappoint you, but there are not many interesting things you can do in this building. However, with the right company... ” His lips formed a sultry smile.My throat turned dry, but I kept my expression blank. The last thing I wanted was to show him my fear. “Mr. Wang was kind enough to show me all the corridors. I do, however, would love to learn more about your projects,” I said, locking my eyes on his.He held my stare as if he were testing me. It lasted a moment before his lips parted into a mischievous grin. “Follow me, Ms. Clairmont... Or should I ca
Resisting My Ex-Bully Another Piece
My stupid plan forced me to stay in the damn ladies' room for more than thirty minutes. I was certain that whoever Ryuu sent as his replacement was currently looking for me, but I decided I didn't care. This was far more important, so I was going to let him or her wait, even if I had to come up with a good lie to explain my absence, like having sudden diarrhea after eating too much chocolate cake…I pressed my ear against the door, realizing that I no longer heard any voices. “Finally,” I groaned before cautiously opening the door and stepping out of the ladies' room.I sighed in relief as I looked around and found the corridor empty. Now that the programmer and his friend were gone, I could only hope my phone was exactly where I'd left it. Pretending to admire the tall plant, I walked over to the pots, certain I looked absolutely ridiculous. Yet, I pushed my acting skills beyond my personal best, putting on a show for… absolutely no one but surveillance cameras and whoever might have
